Create Pull Request

Creates a reviewable branch, commits completed work, pushes it, and prepares a clear pull request.

---

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• A feature is complete
• A bug fix is complete
• A refactor is complete
• UI changes are complete
• Database or backend changes are complete

Do not use this skill before implementation is finished.

---

Step 1 — Review Changes

Review the diff before creating any branch, commit, or pull request.

git diff

Summarise:

• What changed
• Why it changed
• Files affected
• Risks
• Testing performed

---

Step 2 — Create a Branch and Commit

Use a branch name that matches the work type:

• feature/<short-description> for features
• fix/<short-description> for bug fixes
• refactor/<short-description> for refactors

Run the appropriate commands:

git checkout -b feature/$ARGUMENTS
git add .
git commit -m "feat: $ARGUMENTS"
git push origin feature/$ARGUMENTS

Adjust the branch prefix and commit message to match the actual change.

Preferred semantic commit prefixes:

• feat: new feature
• fix: bug fix
• refactor: code refactor
• ui: UI changes
• db: database changes
• test: tests
• docs: documentation

Example:

git commit -m "feat: show category name instead of category id in recipe view"

---

Step 3 — Prepare the Pull Request Description

Use this template:

# Pull Request: $ARGUMENTS

## Summary
[Brief summary of changes]

## Changes Made
- [Change 1]
- [Change 2]
- [Change 3]

## Testing Done
- [Test 1]
- [Test 2]
- [Test 3]

## Screenshots / GIFs
[If applicable]

## Implementation Notes
[Any special implementation considerations]

## Breaking Changes
[List any breaking changes]

## Related Issues
Closes #[issue number]

## Reviewers
[Suggested reviewers if any]

---

Step 4 — Create the Pull Request

If the GitHub MCP tool is available, use it to create the pull request with the prepared title and body.

Example implementation:

try {
  const templateContent = `# Pull Request

## Summary
${$ARGUMENTS}

## Changes Made
- Updated relevant files
- Implemented requested feature or fix
- Adjusted logic and UI where necessary

## Testing Done
- Verified feature works
- Checked edge cases
- Confirmed no regressions

## Implementation Notes
See commits for detailed implementation.

## Breaking Changes
None

## Related Issues
Closes # [issue number]

## Checklist
- [x] Code follows project standards
- [x] Self-review completed
- [x] No new warnings
- [x] Tests pass

  const pullRequest =
    await mcp__modelcontextprotocol_server_github__server_github.createPullRequest({
      owner: "jerseycheese",
      repo: "narraitor",
      title: `Fix: ${$ARGUMENTS}`,
      body: templateContent,
      head: `feature/${$ARGUMENTS}`,
      base: "develop",
    });

  console.log(`Successfully created PR: ${pullRequest.html_url}`);
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Error creating PR with MCP GitHub tool:", error);

  console.log("Please create the PR manually using this URL:");
  console.log(
    `https://github.com/jerseycheese/narraitor/compare/develop...feature/${$ARGUMENTS}`
  );
}

If MCP is unavailable, create the PR manually using the compare URL pattern shown above.

Output Format

After creating the pull request, return:

• Branch name
• Files changed
• Commit message
• PR title
• PR description
• PR link
• Risks
• Testing summary

---

Rules

• Do not commit directly to main or develop
• Always create a feature, fix, or refactor branch
• Always review the diff before committing
• Always write a clear PR description
• Always link related issues if available
• Prefer small PRs over large PRs
• Ensure no secrets or credentials are committed
• Document database changes when present
• Ensure permissions and visibility rules are not broken
